senna sanity

okay, so the unidentified japanese tea is very likely not roasted rice, but roasted senna seed, instead.

there is a little english label on the bag, and it says "ingredients: cassia occidental", which is japanese for "cassia occidentalis", which is latin for "senna seeds", which is herbalist for LAXATIVE.

senna is apparently the active ingredient in exlax.

i discovered this BEFORE drinking the stuff.

but i drank some anyways. just a sip. it was bland with a bitter aftertaste. we'll see if it has the promised laxative effects: i wouldn't expect so from the dose i took.

a bland to bitter laxative. no point in drinking it as long as i keep my date intake steady.
